N- ANOTHER column of today's pa
-per 1 printed an Interesting letter
from Harold Vincent Mllllgan tell
lng of the newentetrise vnder-
taken by Madame -.Lillian Noraica
New York she has bought, a large
tract of land shortly outside the' city
and overlooking the Hudson, end .there
' she la to build the Lillian Nordlca Fes-
. tlvai House, patterned upon ; the Bay-
' reuth Festival grounds.
" '. The madams confesses that she hopes
to perpetuate her name through'' this
enterprise.. But one can see at a glance
that the" effects will be much farther
i reaching than that If the undertaking
Is effected. . If the plan Is" worked out
; on the large scale that Madame Nordlca
hopes. It wilt bring talent to America
: that cannot be found elsewhere and at
the same time will give America a
, musical prestige that It has not enjoyed
'before and Is only now beginning . to
"feel. She expects to , bring the best
singers and players from - Europe and
the foremost conductors of music. This
will all be done in the summer season
when music Is at a standstill almost
nit over Europe and the very best tal
ent can bo secured. This will give
' Americana an opportunity to study In
, America with the best masters and will
give Americana the opportunity, too, of
v Hearing in America m uoi vtwi uuuu
. by the best artists. - -.
But there is another effect that Is
' '. even more a matter of congratulation.
This undertaking will Jo much toward
, recognising American talent. -Madame
Nordlca Is herself an American-and' is
proud of her nationality; She, with
others, laments the standing of Amer
lean artists in the world of music, snd
' one of her ambitions Is to help remove
from them the .stigma, of being Ameri
can. There has been so much talk on
v thts matter by ' musical Journals for.
years past that there Is nothing new to
be said on the subject Americans de
sire to hear foreign talent snd think
they are getting the best If a foreign
name Is attached to an artist.
American artists far superior to for
elgn ones must go abroad to secure
the highest recognition before America
will grant them even a place on the
list of celebrities. Of course in the
' case of Nordlca and some such artists
America cannot fail to recognise their
greatness and .claims the credit only
too eagerly after Europe has made them
'great Nordica hopes to change this
' condition, though the change must of
' necessity come slowly, . She will give
productions with all-Amertoan casts
and she i will proudly head the list of
Americana - In every way possible she
will seek to give credit where credit is
due whether the name be Smith or
Jones, ' Instead of Vermlcell-Spaghettl
or Schmldtgetitsky. '
With the movement that Is 1 Just
etarting among some iof the big piano
i houses of engaging American born pi
anists for their tours,, and the effort
to ; popularise MacDowell's music and
the good compositions of other less
recognised American composers, and
Henry W. Savage's Kngllsh opera en
deavors, there is no reason why America
should not soon be able to claim some
individuality and national character in
music and not have to remain forever
under the stigma of the "hodge-podge
music nation. , " - , ,
v Perhaps with that will come a more
dudtiveneas as a dancer rarely, if ever,
seen on the' stage. .
"Her husband-objected strongly to the
passion' bis wite inrused into me-dance
and several times threatened her. Final
ly, ''unable to contain himself, he shot
snd" killed' her and the man with -whom
sue was dancing and wounded the man
aser -of the theatre." - i .. ,,. . , ....-.
